Imagine they went undercover at say Halliburton and uncovered a few million dollars in corruption. Does anyone here really think that Foxnews would be the only ones trying to get their faces on TV for interviews? They would be interviewed on all of the national news, CNN, 60 Minutes, Dateline, Oprah and down the line.
These two have Fox, and some of the media are now playing coverage which is favorable to ACORN (CNN last night with Campbell Brown).
Anyone who said there was no media bias before now has no argument.
you would not know anything happened by reading the newspapers.
save for later
I would be sweet to see Attorney General Lisa Madigan (Illinois AG, daughter of Speaker Mike Madigan, and invitee tot he White Crib to discuss the Senate seat vacated by Barry) forced into “taking a look” at ACORN in Barry’s own back yard, on the heels of our two senatorial heels voting in support of ACORN (83-7).
Local ABC news anchor, Ron Majors, was on WLS-AM talk radio's Roe Conn Show yesterday saying something to the effect that ‘that kind of reporting’ and the use of covert videotape is unlawful in Illinois.....?
Here is my take: If an organization that takes public funds is thought to be performing unlawful acts, wouldn’t a “whistle-blower” law cover the overwhelming need to expose the wrong-doing? If ACORN is representing itself as a government-supported entity, giving advice on government programs, I would hope whistle-blower laws would help. Sunshine is the best disinfectant (but I think we all need penicillin soon) especially when exposing the strong likelihood that there is government-funding under-age prostitution.
For instance, if someone was being harassed by a cop, and they are able to capture the cop “in the act” on tape, would it be admissible?
I think Lisa Madigan may already be getting calls to investigate ACORN in Illinois.
In the last videotape, it is comforting to know that ACORN supports the 2nd Amendment and conceal-carry!
(Can you hear the popcorn popping in the background?)
In fact, I'll go further and say that the media is far more socialist than the DNC and simply considers the DNC as its puppet.
Yes, the DNC is just the political wing of the MSM.
As Mark Twain famously said, "If you don't read the paper, you are uninformed. If you do read the paper, you are misinformed."
A major news organization gave time to Levi Johnston to talk about the private family life of a former Governor.
So we don’t have to imagine.
